Severance

A shadow darkens the garden now
Inside a castle made of postal cards
My universe, tumbling down
Falling apart at the speed of light

A narrow path, dark and frozen dead
Black stone walls piercing the night
And this indifferent moon reflects
A grimmer world and a starless flight
And I know time will never heal
Something will never feel right

Cold distance and seasons divide us
Waiting for release, and deliverance
Storm clouds gather the closed haven
Winds of change breathe this severance

Farewell my Lady
Carnival is over
Farewell my Lover
Desire is broken
Farewell my Wife
Intimacy is cracked
Farewell my Friend
Souls have departed
Farewell my Sister
Our garden is locked
Farewell my Bride
Severance remains
